![]() ![]() And we learn how to apply different reference frames (a point in space, a point following the fluid, a surface, a volume) to see problems in different ways.ĬATALOG DESCRIPTION: Eulerian equations for mass, motion Navier-Stokes equation for viscous fluids, Cartesian tensors, stress, strain relations Kelvin's theorem, vortex dynamics potential flows, flows with high, low Reynolds numbers boundary layers, introduction to singular perturbation techniques water waves linear instability theory. We develop and apply the important tools of fluid understanding: conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and vorticity. And of course we cover the fun things - like how vortices interact and why waves move the way they do. It is meant to be a rigorous introduction to basic aspects of fluid flow, from its molecular origins (what is pressure? what is viscosity?) to simple large scale behavior (why does atmospheric temperature decrease with height?). ![]() Textbook (required): Fluid Mechanics by Kundu and Cohen (preferably 4th ed.).Ĭopies are available at the bookstore in the ATM SCI sectionĭESCRIPTION: This class is for first year grad students in Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, Civil, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering, and related disciplines.Instructor: Parker MacCready, (68)5-9588, OCN 311, office hours by appointment. ![]()
